One Nation leader Pauline Hanson storms out of Senate during Acknowledgement of Country

One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson stormed out of Parliament at present through the Acknowledgement of Nation.
The Acknowledgement of Nation is a part of the opening process of each Senate sitting day, together with the Lord's Prayer.
It recognises the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples as the standard custodians of the Canberra conferences, and pays respects to elders previous, current and rising.

However at present, Hanson took exception to the ritual she had sat by means of many occasions throughout her political profession.
Partway by means of the Acknowledgement, given by Senate President Sue Strains, Hanson swept out of the room, saying "No I will not, and by no means will".
The Age reported Hanson later stated her rejection of the process was a part of a proposal that will be moved later at present to lift the Indigenous flag contained in the Senate chamber.
Hanson claimed the transfer was "divisive".
Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe, a DjabWurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjmara girl, took to Twitter to name Hanson "ignorant" and "racist".
"Day two of the forty seventh Parliament and racism has reared its ugly head. Pauline Hanson disrespectfully stormed out of the acknowledgement of Nation within the Senate, refusing to acknowledge 'these individuals'," she wrote.
"You need to make parliament protected? Eliminate racism."
Hanson in flip accused Thorpe of selling a "racially divisive agenda".
